HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY EYEBROW APPOINTMENT?
4 WEEKS BEFORE
No laser treatments, chemical peels, or microneedling treatments
2 WEEKS BEFORE
Botox: If you regularly get botox or dysport, it must be done at least 14 days prior to your appointment. Botox takes two weeks to fully settle in the skin. Receiving botox within 14 days of your appointment will result in being sent home and rescheduled.
Waxing, Threading, Tinting or Henna: I recommend coming to your appointment with your brows grown out! I will clean up any unneeded hairs at the appointment with a small brow razor.If you need to clean them up beforehand, please do so at least 3 days prior. If you tint your eyebrows, make sure this is done at least 7 days prior. Retin-A, Retinols, Tretinoin, Adapalene, AHAs: Please refrain from using any chemical exfoliants in the brow area for 2 weeks leading up to your appointment.
No Antibiotics
24 HOURS BEFORE
To minimize bleeding during the procedure, please avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine the day before your appointment. Blood thinning medications such as Aspirin, Excedrin, Ibuprofen and Advil should be avoided unless prescribed by a doctor.
DAY OF THE APPOINTMENT
Avoid exercise. Exercising increases blood flow and can cause excessive bleeding, leading to poor healed results. No coffee (only decaf) and no blood thinning medications. Makeup: You are welcome to come to your appointment with or without makeup on. We will be taking before & after photos so come how you’re most comfortable! If you normally fill your brows in with makeup, feel free to come with them filled in so I can see the shape you’re used to seeing.
​
Make sure you have a valid photo ID with you! No photo ID means no appointment.

If you have ever had a cold sore, been prone to any type of cold sores (herpes simplex virus) or you may have the herpes simplex virus that lies dormant in your system, this procedure could cause an outbreak. You MUST consult with your doctor and upon your doctor’s recommendation, take doctor-prescribed medication such as Acyclovir, Zovirax, or Valtrex before and after the lip procedure to help prevent or lessen the severity of an outbreak. Medication is expected to be taken for a full week before your appointment and at least 3 days following the procedure.
